STEP ONE for the Mother of the Bride Second Line Parade Planning Advice by Hip New Orleans Second Line Handkerchiefs and Carla Buchanan
Congratulations on being the Mother of the Bride!
Planning a second line parade is a very exciting time for you, your daughter, your family, your future son-in-love, and his family.
After all, a second line parade usually is the link between the wedding, and the wedding celebration. The second line parade says, "Hooray! They are married, let's celebrate!"
Planning a second line parade is really very simple.
Step ONE: Decide WHEN you want your parade: do you want your parade to begin as soon as the wedding is over and parade to the wedding reception venue? Or, do you want your second line parade to begin when the couple has finished taking their pictures? Or, do you want the second line parade to begin when the couple exits the reception and is on the way to their honeymoon? For mother's of the bride, my advice is this: decide when you want the second line parade to begin, and, then, ask the couple when they want the parade to begin. That way, the couple will know your feelings, and, it will help the couple to make a great decision. As, many time, the couple is already so overwhelmed with decisions that this small act, deciding WHEN the second line parade starts, really, really helps them. After you decide WHEN you want your parade to start, you can go to STEP TWO. Step two, will be in a future blog post, here, on this blog.
Love, Carla Buchanan
